Joy School


Today I taught Joy School. I am in a Joy School co-op rotation with a few other moms from church in here in St. L for kids ages 2-3 1 morning a week, since September. This is my second year, last year with Kara and this year with Kate. I miss a lot of my teaching/speech days-the books, the craft projects, and being silly with the kids, this gives me a chance have some great teaching moments again. Kate loves going to "her school" and is so excited to see her school friends each week and at church.

New Year's Resolution

Besides doing some new sewing and organizing projects, my new year's resolution is to learn different styles of dancing, including Latin, Hip Hop, Ballroom, Bollywood, etc. I took some Dance Cardio during my MCC years and am finally picking it up again! I am also loving my Zumba class on Saturday mornings. I am always looking for good dance workout recommendations! My end goal is to someday be a Zumba, Latin dance, or Ballroom instructor.

Here are my favorites (mostly from the library or Exercise TV):

10 Minute Solutions Latin Dancing-Stella Sandoval
Dance off the Inches Sizzling Salsa-Stella Sandoval
Crunch Gym Cardio Salsa
Dancing With the Stars Latin Cardio-Cheryl Burke
Dance With Julianne Cardio Ballroom-Julianne Hough
Dance off the Inches Cardio Hip Hop-Jennifer Galardi
Disco Abs-Cheryl Burke

And I am still doing a little Jillian every week!

Sledding!







This week brought great sledding snow!! The K's went sledding with Daddy this week at the park. Actually just Kara went sledding with Daddy (see Kate sitting above, who complained about the cold the whole time).



The Magic House











Our second trip to the Magic House/St. Louis Children's Museum. The girls LOVE this place (anyone would, it's amazing)!! We spent the entire time at the water table or play village.
